Throughout their lives animals must complete many tasks, including finding food, avoiding
predators, attracting mates, and navigating through a complex and dynamic environment …

Agonistic behavior has shaped sociality across evolution. Though extremely diverse in types
of displays and timing, agonistic encounters always follow the same conserved phases …

Weakly electric gymnotiform and mormyrid fish generate and detect weak electric fields to
image their worlds and communicate. These multi-purpose electric signals are generated by …

The evolutionary radiations of Neotropical electric fishes (Gymnotiformes) provide unique
materials for studies on the evolution of specialized sensory systems and the diversification …

In some fish lineages, evolution has led to unique sensory adaptations that provide
information which is not available to terrestrial animals. These sensory systems include …

Weakly electric fish emit an electric communication signal that is controlled by a highly
specialized neural circuit. In Apteronotus, the continuous electric organ discharge (EOD) is …

The bluntnose knifefish genus Brachyhypopomus, is diagnosed from other
Rhamphichthyoidea (Rhamphichthyidae+ Hypopomidae) by the presence of a disk-like …

Electric fish produce weak electric fields to image their world in darkness and to
communicate with potential mates and rivals. Eavesdropping by electroreceptive predators …

The electric organ discharges (EODs) produced by weakly electric fish have long been a
source of scientific intrigue and inspiration. The study of these species has contributed to our …

This study explores the evolutionary origins of waveform complexity in electric organ
discharges (EODs) of weakly electric fish. I attempt to answer the basic question of what …
